Autonomous free-flying robots aboard the International Space Station (ISS) frequently lose their bearings. Without gravity to distinguish up from down, even precision sensors suffer from accumulating ...

They have become the first to demonstrate that AI-based control can guide a robot autonomously in space. The research focuses on Astrobee, a cube-shaped, fan-powered robot designed to float through ...

What’s the difference between deep space and the deep sea? For a robot, the answer is: not much. Both environments are harsh and demanding, and, more importantly, both are far removed from the machine ...

Space robotics startup GITAI will demonstrate the capabilities of their autonomous robot mounted external to the International Space Station (ISS) on the Nanoracks Bishop Airlock in 2023. Details of ...

A report from analysts at GlobalData suggests that space-based robotics is now at a recognised pivotal moment and expected to enjoy “explosive growth” prospects. The report says that more than 40 ...
